Not sure what to say?

You are dearly missed. We lost another Angel last month, Cherry Dimeff. I am sure you are both sharing memories of all the "ANGEL AUX." events and parties. We think of you often and thank you for all you years of support to Aseltine School. God bless your family. Yoe Kusumoto

Our Sincere condolences to your family.
Mary was a special gift to her friends and family.
She was a classy lady with charm and compassion for children. We will cherish her laughter, her smile, her words of wisdom. I truly enjoyed working alongside her at events and at the School. Thank you for sharing her with us. We have many beautiful memories we will forever treasure in our hearts.

Our Dearest Mary, WE will miss you very much. Your dedication to the Angels of Aseltine Auxiliary/Aseltine School was unbelievable. You showed us the way and guided us through so many obstacles. The Angels donated over 1 million dollars throughout the years. Peace to you. You are truly an ANGEL. The Angels of Aseltine Auxiliary Yoe Kusumoto

It was a privilege to know Mary (Mrs. Brito!). Always in our thoughts.

Mary and Lou Brito welcomed me into their home when i was just a youngster and always treated me as a member of the family; I treasure my memories of so many wonderful times. I always said I wanted to grow up to be just like Mrs. Brito: she was glamorous, funny; generous; caring and kind: she was always a lady. I loved her dearly and will miss her forever.

Dear Andrea, Luanne & Lou, I am so sorry to hear the news of your beautiful mothers passing. She was such an amazing woman and role model. She always had and will always have a special place in my heart. You are very blessed to have had her in your life. She is loving her time with your dad now...I´m sure I´m in KC right now and unable to attend the service but I am there in spirit...

So very sorry to hear about Mary. She was a very lovely lady and a long time family friend. Condolences to the family.

My sincere condolences to the family. I always enjoyed working with Mary on our many tuna fund raisers and functions. She was such joy to be around, always full of laughs. Will always remember her.

We are so sorry for your family´s loss. She was so nice, special and fun to be around, we enjoyed our "too few"lunches and dinners with Mary, and Andrea too...Rest in peace Mary.
